Driver's License Appeals to Circuit Court

If you lost your Michigan driver’s license hearing, you may be able to appeal your denial to the Circuit Court. Many times, people choose to represent themselves at the hearing and make mistakes that could have been easily avoided. Moreover, your license denial may be the result of hiring a lawyer that does not specialize in driver's license restoration, so it is of paramount importance that you hire a lawyer with driver’s license appeal expertise.

When you lose your driver’s license hearing, the Secretary of State requires you to wait one year before you can file for another hearing.  However, under new law, the Circuit Court Judges can disagree with the Secretary of State’s decision and grant you driving privileges.  You only have 63 days following your denial to appeal so time is of the essence. 

In order to successfully appeal your Michigan driver’s license denial to Circuit Court, you must show that the hearing officer made a mistake. While most of the hearing officers are very thorough, a denial order will often contain errors that warrant relief.  This means that the hearing officer made a mistake that should allow the Circuit Court to reverse your Michigan driver’s license denial. At Driver’s License Restore, we see errors in denial orders quite frequently and have been very successful in re-gaining our clients their driving privileges following a Circuit Court appeal.
